This truck could signal a happy ending for a hugely controversial $5 million crowdfunding campaign

The people who bought a Sondors eBike on Indiegogo for $500-$650 should soon be getting their bikes, the company is promising.

The company sent us a photo of the first batch of bikes on a shipping truck, and a press releasing saying that these bikes are on their way to the first batch of Indiegogo backers.

That will be a relief to over 14,000 people who contributed to the campaign, which has been mired in controversy almost since the beginning.

The Sondors eBike raised over $5 million amidst skepticism that the bike will really be what was initially promised, a super low-cost electric bike. Then the company's PR firm sued Sondors, accusing the company of not properly paying it for its services.
